Shia LaBeouf has admitted that he feels there are "positives and negatives" to Megan Fox's role being recast for Transformers 3.

Talking to MTV News, the actor revealed that he believes a new cast member will help refresh the franchise and allow fans to rediscover the series.

"I think there's positives and negatives to [Fox] not being [in the movie]," he said.

"It's awesome that we get the discovery again. I think when everybody's vetted and everybody's been through these wars, then that discovery of the first film is nonexistent."

He continued: "It's kind of beautiful in that we get a new set of eyes, a fresh set of eyes for the audience to vibe with. So you get the discovery again, which is something that wouldn't happen if Megan came back."

Fox recently said that she will still see the film despite no longer being part of it.
